The main point about that clock
was that ever so often it would

completely hiding the donkey on

feet could be seen trudging below
and the Mexican’s large straw hat
on top.
Enough of this.. Let’s get to some
thing else.
Early Fort*try Her*
The first professional forester I
ever knew was Henry Tryon, that
! the late Dr. W. W. Long brought to 1
Clemson as extension forester in
the fall of 1924.
For a good while his was a voice
crying in the wilderness. Through
the county agents he located a few
folks over the state who were in
terested in taking care of their
but one token, we knew that the
two nickels the other boys had
would get that jackpot of three.
Then the three of us would have
five tokens for the thr^e nickels
that were our spending money fdr
the week.
Our plan was to get a pineapple
or milk ice each. And then the ex
tra token or two, which was clear
profit, went for candy. And we di
vided that.
That went on for some years, un
til that clock wore out. But in the
meantime, it had served us well.
We had been enriched by much
candy that we otherwise would not
have had. For then that extra dime
would buy a pound or more of
candy.
I’ve told you that this store had
a lot of penny candy, the first I
had ever seen. That candy took on
various imitations. Next week I
must tell you about a few.

Defoliating Cotton
The county agents tell me that a
good many mechanical cotton pick-,
ers have been secured to help har-|
vest this year’s increased acreage of
cotton. For best picking results,
those machines call for defoliated
cotton. And that is a rather exact- j
ing process, as to just the right
time, etc. Your county agent has 1
Clemson information Card 79, *
which gives instructions about
chemical defoliation. And the Na
tional Cotton council has a good
recent bulletin on the subject.
Boys Are That Way
Now about that clock that col
lected money and paid dividends at
Colonel Frick’s country drug store
up there in our stone hills of the
Dutch Fork at Chapin.
It was a low black marble-look
ing clock like some folks bought
for their homes back then. It was
about twice as wide as it was high
and had a sweet melodious strike
to it. But it did not strike the hour.
